Key Points
- Moët & Chandon is introducing the Moët Serve at this year’s US Open.
- The drink features Moët Ice Impérial with fresh lime, packaged in a tennis ball canister.
- Fans can find it on US Open grounds and at select NYC spots, including Dante, Electric Lemon, Hard Rock Hotel, The Gansevoort, and St. Regis New York.
The Honey Deuce has long been the official signature drink of the US Open. Yes, there’s world-class tennis happening, but there are also those famous little honeydew melon “tennis balls” floating in vodka-spiked raspberry lemonade, and for a lot of fans, that drink is basically part of the ticket price.
I’ve personally waited upward of 45 minutes for a Honey Deuce, because nothing says “I love tennis” like standing in line long enough to miss half a set for a cocktail in a souvenir cup.
But this year, the Honey Deuce may have a little competition in the tournament drink lineup.
Moët & Chandon, the Official Champagne of the US Open, is bringing a new drink to the tournament called the Moët Serve. The serve in question is Moët Ice Impérial with fresh lime, packaged in a very on-theme nod to tennis: a ball canister that feels more center court than concession stand.

The Moët Serve will be available exclusively on US Open grounds and at select bars and restaurants around New York City, including Dante, Electric Lemon, Hard Rock Hotel, The Gansevoort, and St. Regis New York. So if you’re coming into the city for a match, you can keep the tennis drinking theme going well after you leave Queens. And if you couldn’t snag a US Open ticket, at least you can drink like you did with an on-theme Serve nearby.
Moët & Chandon
There’ll be plenty more Moët on-site, too. The Club de Tennis Bar, located in the Food Village, will serve Moët & Chandon Impérial Brut, Nectar Impérial Rosé, and the Moët Mimosa in the brand’s signature gold goblet, with plenty more Moët flowing throughout the grounds for thirsty fans floating around.
No one is saying the Honey Deuce is losing its top seed overnight—it’s iconic for a reason—but between the tennis-ball-canister packaging and the fact that Champagne already feels like a celebration, the Moët Serve is making this year’s US Open drink lineup a lot more interesting.
Just how much do we think a Champagne drink in a tennis ball canister will run us these days?
